What the test measures

The Number System skills

  1. Apply and extend previous understandings of operations with fractions to add, subtract, multiply, and divide rational numbers

  2. Use properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions

  3. Understand that subtraction of rational numbers is the additive inverse of addition

  4. Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division and of fractions to rational numbers

  5. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers

How the PSSA reports it

PSSA is Pennsylvania’s own standards-based, criterion-referenced assessment. Its math reporting structure is built on the Pennsylvania Academic Standards/Assessment Anchors and Eligible Content rather than a separate multi-state framework, and it closely mirrors CCSS-style grade-level domains.

Blueprint & weighting

The official PSSA page lists the Mathematics Test Design and grade-level item/scoring samplers, but the accessible source excerpt did not expose a usable per-domain percentage blueprint; no reliable item-weight table was recoverable from the available primary page text.
